Cosonicated small unilamellar vesicles (SUV) were produced by mixing lipids in organic solvents, drying the mixture, adding buffer, sonicating, and separating SUV. Phospholipids of synthetic as well as biological origin were utilized. In phase-separated, cosonicated SUV of dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine/distearoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC/DSPC, 1: 1 molar ratio), the fluorescent sterol (0.5 mol%) interactedpreferentially with the fluid-phase lipid (partition coefficient, K (u=2.6-3.4) accordingto four criteria. First, dehydroergosterol detected only the phase transition of DMPC, the phospholipid with the lower phase transition temperature. Second, the dehydroergosterol fluorescencepolarization, limiting anisotropy, order parameter, and rotational relaxation time in the cosonicated vesicle were similar to those of dehydroergosterol in SUV composed only of DMPC. Third, the number of dehydroergosterol fluorescence lifetime components as well as the distribution in the cosonicated SUV was similar to that of dehydroergosterol in SUV composed of DMPC. Fourth, dehydroergosterol concentration-dependent self-quenching was detected in DSPC SUV at much lower dehydroergosterol concentration than in DMPC SUV, Preference of dehydroergosterol for fluid-phase lipids was also observed by monitoring dehydroergosterol exchange between individually sonicated DMPC SUV and DSPC SUV after the two types of vesicles were mixed in equal proportions. In these SUV mixtures, the dehydroergosterol also partitioned into the more fluid SUV, 99: 1. In contrast, in largelyphase-miscible, cosonicated DMPC/DPPC SUV, the fluorescence properties of dehydroergosterol did not indicate a preferential interaction with either phospholipid. In a variety of phase-separated, cosonicated sphingo-myelin/phosphatidylcholine SUV of either synthetic (palmitoyloleoylphosphatidylcholine/stearoylsphingomyelin and palmitoyloleoylphosphatidylcholine/palmitoylsphingomyelin) or biological (egg phos-phatidylcholine/bovine brain sphingomyelin) origin, the fluorescentsterol also interacted preferentiallywith the lipid with lower phase transition temperature, palmitoyloleoylphosphatidylcholine (K {/s greater than 13) or egg phosphatidylcholine (Kfjs=
